Well I played SWG from the beta and absolutely fell in love with the game. It was completely star wars!! Then they made change after change and those half a dozen professions because 32. It was horrible but I endured and made jedi after 2 years of work only to have it utterly ruined less than half a year later by the NGE. I was mortified, horrified, angry and outraged. 

I went back to the game a few times but god it was like dustballs in the old west. no one!! 

Well about four days ago i was reading my 10th or so bulletin about knights of the old republic coming out and then hunted for ages to find a release date and saw that its expected fourth quarter 09 1st quarter 10 which means a year at least to wait. so i decided to try swg again.

I was so happy i did. I can't remember why i was so angry anymore after such a long hiatus and i immediately asked some fellow 'elder' players what had ahcnged and talked and learned quite a bit was the same but a lot had been added, cards, collections, areas. and i started playing and its now been three days and im totally hooked. i had completely forgotten how cool areas like kashyyk are and the ryatt trail with the massive trees that go down four levels.

my jedi who was once uber is rather weak and im having to get more gear to get him back. the cities are busiers, not as busy as launch but mos eisley is full enough to make it fun and players play until late at night which i like. im on chimaera - majere naj - and also the canteen is about 50% as busy as the busy days of corellia. also restus has been sacked and is now a wicked pvp area.

all in all i think i will be enteratined for antoher six months getting my toon back up to par. its really great being back in the star wars world and enough people to make it fun again. its taking a lot to get the swing of things but i love playing my jedi again. i hope more vets return as it seems are in wait for the knights mmo to come around.

-- this is my first post ever here because it was so important to squelch all the bad mouthing (which was rightfully deserved for what they did to our beloved game)

 

Really funny how every couple weeks someone pops on here out of nowhere with a low post count and "enlightens" us with the exact same story about how they are an old player that just came back and the game is amazing now... There seems to be some kind of pattern here...

 

Really funny how every day you gotta find some random post or several and ditch it/them.

That being said I haven't played SWG preNGE or postNGE so don't care, but if the guy likes SWG let him do so. If he wants to post here saying that he enjoys it - he is entitled to it - just as well as you freaks are entitled to do your 20 posts a week against SWG.

No wonder no one ever posts anything positive here. 99% know they'll get bashed by random idiots if they post here saying they like a game that is not WoW.

And those that post they hate WoW just get overflooded with WoW fanboys instead. Endless circle of negative crap that 95% of the users of MMORPG.com post.

*shrug* Grow up people.

 

You care so little that you made that post.  I am amused by the irony of your assumption that people are bashing SWG because it isn't like WoW.  Please stick around and provide more entertainment, since the game this forum is dedicated to isn't very entertaining.

 

 

That assumption was a "general" attitude for MMORPG.com across the whole line. Look AoC / WAR / WoW bash fight.

However funny thing is that most of the people who post here about how much SWG sucks are also on the AoC / WAR / WoW forums pulling off the same kind of crap towards whoever is saying they like a game.

People got some sick idea that what they "like and dislike" is how the world should work. Guess what - it doesn't.

And yes I don't care about SWG but I do care about people who can't shut up when someone finally come around and say they're having fun in X game. You should try it sometime. Might remove that bitter taste you have in your mouth, if you expressed something positive instead of something negative.

You think you are capable of that? or you just gonna sit here moaning at a forum about a game you dislike cause you got nothing better to do with your life?

Wow, the 'you got nothing better to do with your life' insult.  Take a few seconds to think about the fact that you are posting in a forum dedicated to a game you claim to not care about.  No, really think about it.  Seriously, go ahead and think about it.

You really tried to pull the 'nothing better to do' card in a post in a forum about a game you claim to not care anything about?  I will admit, that takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance., and for that, I salute you.  Keep up the good work.  That completely outshines the who 'you're only complaining because it isn't like WoW' post you made.

Lets see.

You're still here insulting a game you care nothing for? A game you'd love to see shut down. A game that you believe no one is entitled to like or enjoy playing cause you don't. Hence you're here spending time doing what? Apart from telling people to not play a game you don't like? My point proven. You're here for no reason other than a kick from bashing SWG.

Good that's settled then.

So to add up on your lovely little "lets think about things for a few seconds post!".

How about you take a few seconds to think about the fact that I was posting on a forum to defend a person who claimed to like a game - not to defend the game itself that I still don't care about which is absolutely correct. My intentions were simple. I still never claimed that people complained that SWG wasn't like WoW - that was still a general comment to MMORPG users in general.

I'm glad for one that SWG always made a stand and didn't become a poor WoW'ification like other games unfortunately have developed into.
Fact is however, that what I stated was that people complain if the game the OP is playing isn't WoW. Where in my initial post do you see me saying "isn't like WoW". I clearly wrote "playing a game that ISN'T WoW" - see you added a "like" in between "Isn't" and "WoW". Just pop over to WAR or AoC forums if you have the time and you'll see Strategy and Bodypass (my 2 most loved targets) bashing every person claiming they like WAR or AoC. Hence my comparison.

I stick to my initial post - post something positive in the game forum you like and maybe MMORPG would be a better place overall to get information instead of just reading about random people's hatred for a game. Steer clear of the games you dislike - and let the people who enjoy the game actually have valid conversations without people interfering with stupid remarks about how poor their choice of game is.

Or feel free to fill in some random bash comment again. I've got 6½ hour at work. Plenty of time to make you look like a fool if you really wanna have a go at me.

Ive noticed that also but its happening on a more frequent basis now.... thing is why come to the vet forum and tell us people that have quit the game even as most recent as me and yes i do use the vet trials to try out the new horrible content. Why cant they post on the O-boards on how happy and great the game is? Viral marketing at its worst.....

Yeah - what is wrong with those people! Posting on a SWG forum saying they like a game! Naturally all the Vets who hate SWG are entitled to this forum on MMORPG so they can all agree how much they hate the game! Valid point!

/sarcasm off...

You people make me sick... dear god.

You care so little that you made that post.  I am amused by the irony of your assumption that people are bashing SWG because it isn't like WoW.  Please stick around and provide more entertainment, since the game this forum is dedicated to isn't very entertaining.

 

 

 

That assumption was a "general" attitude for MMORPG.com aboard the whole line. Look AoC / WAR / WoW bash fight.

However funny thing is that most of the people who post here about how much SWG sucks are also on the AoC / WAR / WoW forums pulling off the same kind of crap towards whoever is saying they like a game.

Or feel free to fill in some random bash comment again. I've got 6½ hour at work. Plenty of time to make you look like a fool if you really wanna have a go at me.

Do I care nothing for it, or would I love to see it shut down?  For some reason, you think I have strong feeling for a game you think I care nothing for.

You jumped into a thread to make a claim that had no basis in reality (that anyone here had a negative reaction to the original post because the game he was claiming to be enjoying wasn't WoW).  You then proceeded to compound your error by making further spurious claims.  You even went so far as to try and insult the folks here by claiming they are only here because their lives are otherwise empty, while claiming you care nothing about the game these forums are dedicated to discussing.  Seriously, you don't find that the least bit humorous?

Not being WoW is the least of SWG's drawbacks.  The fact that the game was completely revamped to be more like WoW notwithstanding (it wasn't done very well).  SWG has an interesting history, one that makes it unique among the rest of the MMO worl.  That history makes it stand head and shoulders above the rest as a lightning rod for negativity.

You'll be hard pressed to fnd anyone around these parts that will complain that SWG isn't WoW.

Anyway, I invite you to download the SWG trial and come back here to give your impressions.  Since you seem to be clueless in a way that someone pretending to be clueless couldn't pull off, you would be able to give an actual fresh perspective about the game.

The trial can be found at :

www.tryswg.com

Give it a look and let us know what you think.  Who knows, you might like it, and heaven knows that the folks who are currently playing it could use more people to make the game feel less barren and empty.

my jedi who was once uber is rather weak and im having to get more gear to get him back. the cities are busiers, not as busy as launch but mos eisley is full enough to make it fun and players play until late at night which i like. im on chimaera - majere naj - and also the canteen is about 50% as busy as the busy days of corellia. also restus has been sacked and is now a wicked pvp area.

all in all i think i will be enteratined for antoher six months getting my toon back up to par. its really great being back in the star wars world and enough people to make it fun again. its taking a lot to get the swing of things but i love playing my jedi again. i hope more vets return as it seems are in wait for the knights mmo to come around.

Really funny how every couple weeks someone pops on here out of nowhere with a low post count and "enlightens" us with the exact same story about how they are an old player that just came back and the game is amazing now... There seems to be some kind of pattern here...

Ive noticed that also but its happening on a more frequent basis now.... thing is why come to the vet forum and tell us people that have quit the game even as most recent as me and yes i do use the vet trials to try out the new horrible content. Why cant they post on the O-boards on how happy and great the game is? Viral marketing at its worst.....

 

Yeah - what is wrong with those people! Posting on a SWG forum saying they like a game! Naturally all the Vets who hate SWG are entitled to this forum on MMORPG so they can all agree how much they hate the game! Valid point!

/sarcasm off...

You people make me sick... dear god.

Disregard my previous post.  You're obviously not a dispassionate observer, you're a current subscriber pissed off that people don't like your preferred game.  The trial would be of no use to you.

It was horrible but I endured and made jedi after 2 years of work only to have it utterly ruined less than half a year later by the NGE. I was mortified, horrified, angry and outraged. 

I went back to the game a few times but god it was like dustballs in the old west. no one!! 

Well about four days ago i was reading my 10th or so bulletin about knights of the old republic coming out and then hunted for ages to find a release date and saw that its expected fourth quarter 09 1st quarter 10 which means a year at least to wait. so i decided to try swg again.

Well I would be more willing to believe they were genuine if I didn't know the game was such a huge steaming pile. And don't you wonder where all these people are coming from? I mean it isn't SWG, those servers are completely empty. Which would lead us to the assumption that it is the select few simpletons that actually somehow find enjoyment in that shadow of a game and must continually post about how great it is. And if this actually doesn't apply to the OP, well sorry, but he's an exception.

Glad your back have fun and don't listen to the whiners still hoping for a rollback that will never come.

@ Obee

And you still seem to have no clue why I'm even posting here.

And lets assume you care nothing for the game nor want to see it shut down. Yet you're here telling everyone how empty and barren and worthless the game is.

I still don't understand what part of my post you can't figure out, since I still posted nowhere that SWG was like WoW, or that it was the reason for this particular post. I even repeated it countless times but I guess you set your mind to this one thing as your valid point for insulting me and claiming I got no clue what I'm talking about.

Lastly - I play LotRO,WAR,WoW and EQ2 at the moment. So no - SWG is not on my list nor will it ever be. But that you old "vets", if you are one, feel you own this forum is just sickening and pathetic.

I'm impressed though that your previous post was constructive and almost non-trollish apart from the fact that you had to insult me several times based on things you claim about me that I never wrote. You're headed one step in the right direction. You might soon learn to post full posts without insulting people too, while even being constructive and we can have a nice conversation about MMO's in general and the fail of WoW / AoC / WAR fanboys and haters that make out 90% of MMORPG.com's twisted core.

I've been quite capable of playing MMORPG's for 10 years without letting myself be influenced by people on forums who can't do anything but bash games, and I'll just enjoy the games I like as I've always done. I'll always be defending all games though from trolls, even if I like the game or not. I played EQ for 7 years. I don't play it anymore nor do I care about it, but when people start claiming it's a crap game, yet they play WoW themselves, I bring out my Bashbat. People are often clueless and spend way too much time degrading games they dislike than playing / enjoying games they like.

That's all I have to say. I'll leave you to your SWG forum now. I fear there's no chance for common sense to succeed in here.

Thanks for the Trial offer but I'll pass. SWG has nothing to offer me, that I can't already find in other games. I don't need everything in one game. I'm quite happy playing more than one MMO for diversity.

Enjoy your day Obee, and happy Xmas / New Year.

Fair enough. Just one question though and I'll be off your back. When was the last time you were online and checked the servers to see how many people are online? How empty were they? And define a "empty" server today? I'm almost afraid to say the word in case Obee jumps me again, but WoW server population is not comparable since SWG never saw those numbers anyways.

Reason I'm asking is cause I got no clue. I never installed the game so got no idea what kind of population people are wanting in SWG for it to be "valid".

You'd think SOE had pulled the plug if they had absolutely no subscribers or? We both know they're a hungry moneymachine, so can't be in SOE's interest to keep a game running with no people? Even I know SOE good enough to know they ain't that blind to a money loss.

Nah, I get what you were trying to accomplish.  It took a few posts, but you weren't able to keep up the facade.  It came tumbling down when you started using the vernacular of these here forums (along with the OBoards).

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!

I played SWG from a couple months after launch up until last summer with only about 4 months of total break time in that time span (all during the NGE).  

Why did I stick around?  For some reason I honestly thought that the game would eventually revert back into a pre nge style system.  Maybe not exactly pre nge, but something very close to it.  Once I realize that was never going to happen (yeah...2 1/2 years of denial is bad huh?) I left and never looked back. 

Pre NGE I had more fun that "work"  (i even found solo group grinding fun because hell...I could socialize with 19 other people).   Post NGE I felt like all I was doing was "work" with the occasional minor bits of fun (few and far between). 

Ah, thx god for the Block-button:D And funny that it is the same people as i always see write the same shit:D

Hihi they are funny though, so i guess i will Unblock theme now and then and see what they have wrote:)

well i have to say im disappointed that it becomes a hurl of passions back and forth. but to give those really interested some idea of where i see the game after my fourth day back. mos eisely is the busiest port. i play usually between 7 pm uk time to about 2 am uk time. from about 7-midnight the cantina has i would say about 20-25 players in it most times getting buffs. the area around the port entrance has about 10-15. the bazaar area about 5 and then about 10-20 people running around. thats mos eisely.

the heroic encounters have come out and so i found if you join the heroic chat channel its the best way to find a group. these are all high level and difficult quests but SUPER fun. the hoth quest is awesome. you all start in at-sts and have to kill rebels (oh you can only go with your faction) then you gain entrance to the hoth rebel base and you have to slash your way through. i dont know if there is much strategy here besides being able to take down high level mobs really quickly which i suppose is the strategy you need. but i was rusty so did more following.

the other areas i found were quite busy were restus, which had about 10-15 people always there buffing up and going back into the city for pvp battling.

when i ventured out to mustafar to do quests i only noticed maybe 5 people on the base. same with dantoine. im not really completely familiar with the most popular areas now but tatooine seems busiest.

as to where the game is lacking that ive seen, i did a lot of combat yesterday and the level of strategy required is still less than pre-nge as a dps jedi im just concentrating more on maximizing my action points.

but yeah i would agree with the other poster above that said that sw is unique and thats good enough for some people. i dont think the game sucks and i dont think its the end all be all of mmo's i just made my initial post because when i got my jedi back and saw there were a lot more people around than six months after nge it was a nice feeling. its deifnitely not as busy as the height of the game, i would never say that but its busy enough for me to feel a part of it and not alone in the world, and the players are still quite cool (although there are more younger noob pwner types than pre-nge) but still vets that are easy to chat with.

the game is certainly not free but it is well worth the trial in my opinion to get a taste and see if its fun enough to come back and as i said earlier for me it is. also, to the poster who was curious about why people like me dont come back after a couple weeks. i have to say i would definitely repost as im as curious as you are about how i will like the game after say one month but so many posters here have said such one sidedly negative things that it doesnt really entice us to come back to be really constructive. if there were more posts that were and asked me pointed questions about my experience for the future i would aboslutely make a poitn to repost on how i feel later.

ah. i will add a negative. the biggest i have found so far coming back.

i play ddo and i LOVE how easy it is to search for a group or put a group together. its a simple panel and it tells you which groups are forming and what classes they need and what quest they are doing. i really hate this system in swg. it is not clear at all how to easily find a group. i had to find someone to tell me to join a chat channel which isnt all that easy. but that was more for heroic quests. i just wanted to find people to hunt force sensitive jedi on dant for holos for the collection quest or do mustafar quests for better experience and trying to find a group for these is really really hard because i dont know how to communicate to everyone on the server that thats what im doing without spamming /say messages and running around which i remember was the way on coronet back when the game opened. thats the biggest pitfall im finding so far.

This whole post is just Un-Fucking-Real.

Let us all drink a steaming cup of reality, k?




I recently went back to SWG for about a month, and I really enjoyed the time I did play. I spent most of it entertaining folk with large fireworks shows in Mos Eisley.

And yes, many people watched. Several would come out of the cantina from hearing the booms outside. I was on Bria.


The only reason I stopped playing was because its more or less the same as any other MMO out there. Grind to end-level, find a group of others and grind end-level things. So I quested for a new flavor of the month mmo instead.

Good post, and the number of players you seen in the Cantina and Mos Eisley  are the same number i have seen everyday since i came back 2 month ago. 

Idont know how thoose numbers compares to Pre-cu and i dont care, its enough to make me have the feeling of a living town. Im a trader so havent really seen thoose other places you mentioned, but iam also leveling an Commander and currently doing the Legacy quests so i will be there soon enough:)
 

As i have sad before, i have been trying and playing for quite some time many of the other "big" mmorgs out there, WAR,  Tabula Rasa, Guild Wars, a tiny bit of WoW,Entropia universe, LOTRO, Saga of Ryzom, COH,COV. You can compare every game to each other and everyone of them will have something that makes just that game better then one other, But i feel that i do get more gameplay with SWG, and that is the most important for me.

aren't you glad you gave it another shot?

As someone whos been in game since beta, except for a 9 mos hiatus after NGE hit, I can absolutely guarantee that many, many vets have come back and enjoyed the game so much that they are still playing today. As you noticed, the cities aren't as full as it was at launch and shortly thereafter, but the major poulation centers do not have that empty feel that they did when I came back after my NGE-imposed break.

Again, it all depends on the server - you're lucky that you played on a server that became one of the core servers.

Regardless of SOEs past  transgressions, SWG remains the most sandboxy of games available that support the widest range of playstyles. I barely launch into space, I craft very litle these days, i have no idea what to do with the TCG, and I dont RP. However, when pvp is slow and pve isnt doing it for me, I know I've got several options to fall back on.

Vets, this isnt the game you left and it never will be - but it IS a fun game.

I've been back in SWG for a few months now, and I'm enjoying myself. It's not the same as the old days, but there's enough things to do to keep me busy.

The sad truth is that I've gotten tired of all the other games out there. SWG has some good features that I've yet to see replicated in any other game. Nostalgia brought me back, and those features will keep me for awhile.

SWG has its problems, and always will. Calling it crap is a matter of opinion, Compared to some other, more popular games out there right now, I'd consider SWG a gem. For me, it is a place to pass the time while I wait for something of quality to be made again. I haven't felt fully at home in a game since EQ and pre-NGE SWG.
